The Moroccan daily Hespress reported, in early February 2026, on the commemoration held in memory of Cheikh Sidi Hamza al-Qadiri Boutchich (may Allah sanctify his Secret), at the zaouïa of Madagh. We give an account of it below as part of our press review. The original source can be found at the end of the article.
At Madagh, in the province of Berkane, the Qâdiriya Boutchichiya Way commemorated Sidi Hamza al-Qadiri Boutchich (1918-2017), a major figure in the renewal of contemporary Moroccan Sufism and guide of the Tariqa for decades.
The commemoration, held around the ninth anniversary of his return to God, brought together the disciples of the Way in contemplation: recitations of the Qur’an, invocation (dhikr) and a night vigil in memory of the cheikh. It reflects the faithfulness of a path that honours its masters and carries their teaching forward.
Sidi Hamza leaves the imprint of a master who opened the Way to all, welcomed disciples from Morocco and the whole world, and made the zaouïa of Madagh a living home of dhikr, knowledge and mercy.
